\"h de la m\" - a euphemism 4 total value!
16 march 2009
as my rating clearly underscores for each of the four criteria --namely, service (score: 5/5); cleanliness (score: 5/5); location (score: 6/5!!); and value (score: 6/5)-- i was very, very impressed with my overall experience at the hotel de la montagne. the staff were friendly and helpful; the hotel room we were in was as spacious, if not more, than the delta for example, at only three-fifths the price ($92!!!); it was very clean; the bathroom was very roomy; and the location was PERFECT, a half-block from st. catherines street, and not more than a nice 25 minute walk to old montreal.
what was also rather refreshing was the daily visit, early evening, to our room by a friendly staff member offering, well, refreshments of course, including chocolates and bottled water AT NO CHARGE. sweet!!
i'm selfishly inclined not to "send" this review for fear that the hotel's prices may rise considerably as more people discover the total value awaiting the average traveller at this pleasantly satisfying hotel. other features which we did not get a chance to experience include, for example, daily happy hours from 5 - 8:00 p.m., restaurants, a dance club called thursday's to name just a few.
in short, if you were to ask me whether i would recommend this hotel, i would have to say with no equivocation, ABSOLUTELY :-)
